Searching around on the bit torrent networks, I found a PC demo for Republic Commando. I havent seen it on File Planet of any of those networks, quite yet but it looked to be an official demo since when you try and close out it gives you one of those, "Preorder now! Coming in March!" screens that most PC demos have.
Anyway, the game is pretty awesome. It's like Rainbow 6 in that you have a squad you can command, but it is more action packed and not nearly as slow moving. Some parts are run and gun, and other parts have been sniping. The way the squad works is pretty cool, because there are certain points that are marked to have you set up your squad, all you do is highlight it and press the F key and the squad sets up and starts attacking.
Another cool feature is that you can revive or be revived by a teammate if you die. Also, there are health rechargers like in HL2 that you can use throughout the lvl, this makes it less like the try it over again till you dont die gameplay of rainbow 6.
So anway, i thought the PC version of the game looked pretty awesome. Im definately going to be picking it up.
